An Act relative to updating animal health inspections

This bill defines "personal breeder kennel" as a group of 3+ intact female dogs kept for breeding and selling offspring (excluding purely private breeders or commercial operations). It requires the Department of Agricultural Resources to create new rules ensuring proper housing, care, and sanitation for both personal and commercial breeder kennels, including space, veterinary care, and enrichment standards. Inspections must occur between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. (with exceptions), and violations may result in citations, license suspensions, or revocations after a specified correction period. The department must issue these regulations within 18 months of the bill's effective date, with appeals possible through district court or administrative law.
